On February 26, 2026, the protocol suffered a $2.26 million exploit caused by a critical deployment error in its Groth16 trusted setup — a flaw publicly known from an identical exploit on Veil Cash days earlier that the team failed to patch. The team had been silent for approximately three months prior to the attack and was subsequently flagged as a notable risk by AVOID.NET due to compounding concerns: anonymous founders, serious operational negligence, misleading post-incident communications, and unverifiable audit claims.","timeline":[{"date":"2024-01-23","event":"FOOM token records its all-time low price of $0.071455, indicating the token has been tradeable since at least this date.","source":""},{"date":"2025-10-06","event":"FOOM token records its all-time high price of $0.061871 according to CoinGecko.","source":""},{"date":"2025-11-01","event":"FOOM Cash team social accounts go silent, entering an approximately three-month communication blackout while holding millions in user funds (approximate date per rekt.news analysis).","source":""},{"date":"2026-02-20","event":"Veil Cash, a smaller Base-network privacy protocol using the same Groth16 setup, is exploited via identical gamma/delta misconfiguration.
